When I reflect on certain textures I've tested, while I never question the interpretation or adventure behind the time, there's occasionally 'that' coat that didn't quite fit. Take the nostalgic punk biker jacket I had a tug-of-war with to get out of the cupboard last year. It evolved into a fun and powerful shoot, but it would have drowned and bullied me to the floor with each step and walk if I went out in it. Some fabrics are just too heavy to handle when you don't have the broad shoulders of a man from the Milan runway. But this isn't to say that the vibe can't be trimmed down into a skinny latte version. So with a love of leather, I traded animalistic armor leather for a lighter retail interpretation. The Topman jacket I'm wearing below is sticky to the eye and light enough to crunch and crinkle into a tough urban shape. And an editorial from Iceberg has a similar appeal, where they've even creamed the aviator trend into something softer. Be sure to let me know of your own trend adaptations this season!

I quite like heavy fabrics, as long as I wear something light underneath, I love the layers youre wearing here, and your cropped trousers! x
ReplyDeletewow, incredible menswear. your writing is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe whole outfit is simply perfect. As usual. You never play the wrong note. :-)))
ReplyDeleteYou're so right! i hate the bulkiness of jackets but then again, i live in LA so there's really no need for it. I still wonder how people in new york manage to look soo good while its so freakin cold out there. Thin suede coats are the hardest to find with out the extra zeros at the end of the pricetag but i love the trend!
ReplyDeletelove the post (and your hair is amazing)
